I'm still confused has the NFL given a justification on why the suspension has been increased? If its new evidence then that's bullshit. I don't believe they have given a justification yet. My *guess* is that they'll justify it by saying that the tape proved when Rice met with league officials, he lied to them when he gave his account of how the incident went down So NFL how would you like to be thought of 1) Lazy and negligent in your investigation 2) Incompetent in your investigation 3) Or liars who only do what's right for PR

I actually think the correct answer is some combination of all 3

I'm more shocked when Stephen says something that's well thought out these days.
I think he's taking trolling lessons from Skip Bayless.
Speaking of Skip, I wonder if that dipshit has any Grade A moronic comments on this issue?

I don't know if he's taking trolling lessons from Skip, because Skip as strange as it sounds, has been the voice of reason in this entire issue. And I love how Skip can't really even form a response to Stephen A Smith's nonsense, and the look on the host's face when they showed her. Smith doesn't get that while Goodell didn't hit Janay Rice, he damn sure didn't do right by her and victims of domestic violence. He made no attempt to get a video from inside the elevator, that they could have gotten. He swept it under the rug, and gave Ray Rice a 2 game suspension, and then when the video got leaked to the public, that's when the hammer came down. He also doesn't seem to understand, that the NFL being as big as it is, can really be a leader in this issue, but they've been turning a blind eye to it for years. Skip mentioned Terrell Suggs, but there's also Larry Johnson. Goodell took control in 2006, Johnson was arrested for a 3rd and 4th time in 2008 for violence (all victims were female), and Goodell did nothing. With Johnson's violent history, Goodell should have booted him from the league.

Chargers placed C Nick Hardwick (neck) on injured reserve, ending his season.

You know Stephen A. Smith is out of line when you can honestly say "Skip Bayless is being the voice of reason."

Anyone read the story on John Abraham? He's been suffering from severe memory loss for a year, and got another concussion in Monday's game. I don't mean to sound morbid but based on what we know about concussions and its affects, I hate to think what his life will be like 10 years from now.

Haven't seen the story, but if a guy has been having severe memory loss for a year, someone should have stepped in and not allowed him to play anymore.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Rams LE Chris Long will undergo ankle surgery and miss 8-10 weeks.

Just heard on WFAN that an Atlantic City law enforcement official told the AP, speaking on anonymity, sent the video to the NFL head office three months ago, and has a voice mail saved to back him up. He can't say whether or not the NFL bigwigs actually saw the video, but the NFL did have the video.
So either Goodell buried his head in the sand not seeing the video. Or he's a liar.
ESPN's also reporting it.

The NFL is in for a shitstorm of biblical proportions if this guy is telling the truth.

I'm not Keith Olbermann's biggest fan because I think he's a smug, pompous ass even though I agree with him far more often than not. But when he's the conductor of the truth train, it's a pretty epic sight to behold.

With each passing day, this more and more becomes the NFL's Watergate. And we know how that ended.
